- Title
The Egg-shell of the Cabbage Root Fly, Erioischia brassicae (Bouché).
- Authors
Jones, Margaret G.
- Abstract
The electroscan microscope was used to show details of the external structure of the egg of cabbage root fly. The median area between the hatching lines differs from the more solid structure of the longitudinal ridges on the rest of the surface. On the pointed posterior end are small holes in the outer layer, but in contrast to wheat bulb fly, Leptohylemyia coarctata (Fall.), there are no distinct plastron areas around the micropyle at the blunt anterior end. The egg of cabbage root fly also lacks small plastron areas among the longitudinal ridges.
